  • Sounds like a plan! We've engaged in some Swedish death cleaning (döstädning) to reduce the amount of clutter for the child to sort out when we go. Originally, we wanted to be planted in a pod under a tree, but such cemeteries are quite rare in the UK so it looks like it'll be a standard cremation. Talking of which, we've also picked our death songs for the service.

  • It could hit my portfolio? What portfolio?

  • The day's work turning up in the morning post and there being no chance of further work appearing afterwards. The days working in an office before email and PCs were wonderful.

  • That was indeed the joke!

  • Indeed! Morbidity (as opposed to mortality) is the major concern to me these days, so I'm doing as much as I can now just in case I can't do anything in the years to come. If I drop dead then all is good, there are no issues. If I'm stuck at home but still alive, at least I'll have some good memories to look back on.

  • Quite.

  • I always thought I'd be immortal. So far (63-ish) so good. Dying's the last thing I plan on doing.

  • "Whets"

  • I would hope all those tractors have had the red diesel siphoned out and replaced with the taxed version. /s

  • And yet we're still planning to send Charlie over for a State visit to the orange cunt ferfuckssake.

  • I've picked up quote a few new (to me) artists and songs via streaming shows. One that stands out is Netflix's DARK, the montage soundtrack for which is utterly superb and almost none of which I knew before.

  • Well, he is a pain in the arse.

  • Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac

  • I wouldn't have gone to that one either.

  • As far as I'm concerned, anyone who travels from Europe is a complete idiot. I'm thinking about including the teams in that definition too.

  • This is my wife. She's 5' 1" and is often knocking items on to her head from the top shelf of supermarkets.

  • I'd have thought agricultural pollution from pesticides, etc. was more of an issue than pet flea treatments.

    Today, we are visiting a great big garden in Groot-Bijgaarden, Belgium.

  • And there was I, thinking it was a storm of protest over starting a terrible war, but no! It's Fury over the fact that Israel has (almost, for now) stopped killing people.

    Unbelievable.

    One of our elderly neighbours died early on Good Friday morning.

    This doesn't happen very often: I found a short story collection by Roger Zelazny that I'd never even heard of before, let alone read. Feeling exceptionally lucky.

    For some reason, my wife has bought me a vial of hyaluronic acid and a syringe for St. Valentine's Day.

    There are people out there who could utterly smash world records but no-one will never know as they haven't taken up that sport.

    Elon Musk was on the Bluebell Railway Santa Special tonight (Horsted Keynes station). Surprising, to say the least.

    I've cleaned out the coffee machine water tank; it was looking a bit green.

    Today, we met a girl who was complaining about her Asperger parents giving her and her three siblings terrible names.

    If anyone knows Hilary of Calder Drive, Rainhill, I've just found her copy of Julius Caesar.

    I built a compost bin out of old pallets.

    I painted the garage doors. It took three coats.

    I mean, it was very nice, but the menu specifically said 'mushrooms' not '1/4 of a mushroom'. Edit: I did decline the beans and half a fried tomato, so it's not as bad as it might seem.
